No, not five! I never have five. I fail at five things on Friday. Friday Five Fail.
But not at fun, right? Fun! I haz it. I am all about Friday Fun. So here’s a few Friday fun things for you:
Did you know there is a medieval castle in Cincinnati? Well, technically in Loveland, OH, which is part of the Greater Cincy area. A man just decided one day he wanted to build a castle here, so he did. By hand. He based it on Norman castle plans and everything.

Speaking of fun things here in Cincy, tomorrow is the second Cincinnati Comic Expo and I am going! It will be my first comic type con– my first real con, I think. World Fantasy Con was more of a writers conference. I didn’t go to this last year because I didn’t know about it. Plus, even though I’ve been reading comics on and off for the past ten years or so, this past summer was when they truly sucked me in. Before, I could wait for the stories to be published as trade paperbacks, but now there are titles I eagerly buy the comic issues of every Wednesday.
My third Friday Fun thing is this, lookee here!

Debut novels written by friends! I haz them! It is *such* a thrill to see a story that you read in manuscript form become a fragrant, gorgeous book!
Wishing you all a fab weekend!
There are often many mini-events at Chateau LaRoche (the castle’s proper name). Masquerade balls, knight’s tourneys, Steampunk events, etc. Most of these events take place during the Spring and Summer. If you’re interested, check out their Facebook page. I also was married at the castle. You can find pictures on my flickr page.
Wow! Your pics are gorgeous! What a fun idea for a wedding. I read that people sometimes got married there, but hadn’t seen photos. And I didn’t know about the other events — thanks!
